Revolutionary Concept
Excited by Citizen’s mission, empowering individuals to solve issues within their local communities.
Great work! Clean UI, easy to use.TM_0712
Finally...
This is such a great way for a community to see problems collectively and collaborate to build and improve itself
Who hasn’t seen a potholes go unnoticed and not fixed

Fun app that also helps our community
I love this app! It’s all about making our community better by taking action and making our opinions heard and seen.mev221
Extremely promising; hoping it picks up in the US
Citizens does for local neighborhood safety what Waze does for driving:
In the same way that Waze lets you place alerts/notifications for your fellow drivers re: things like police presence; potholes; roadkill; etc, imagine a similar thing, but for neighborhoods, where you can drop alerts/notifications for your fellow citizens re: things like:
- illegal parking (you can input license plate)
- road violations
- dangerous animals
- homeless person in danger
- malfunctioning city utilities like lights, water, etc
- illegal dumping
- broken playground equipment
- noise
- road rage (again, with license plate reporting)
- air pollution
- bullying
- sidewalk issues
Etc etc.
The cool thing is, once you drop an alert for something, you can track its progress to see whether it's being remedied (or not). Presumably it can notify the appropriate authorities / agencies.
Obviously it's a new app, so when I selected SF there wasn't any activity to speak of yet. I think they literally just (soft) launched. So don't be disappointed when you see an empty newsfeed.
If you’re familiar with NextDoor, think of this as the logical compliment to ND’s feature that lets you report crime & suspicious activity; this is a vastly better implementation.
PS. A really cool feature: In your personal profile settings, you can input up to 3 vehicle license plates: This way, if somebody files a report against you (because they can report your license plate!), you can apologize and have the report removed! Very cool.CROSVS
